I'm Kassie, 21 years old, and live in the Deer Park, TX area. I live alone, except for my 2 cats who are more like children than pets. I love making soups and casseroles. Baking desserts is my favorite though, cookies and cakes are my life! We had none! My mom worked so much that we never sat down during the week and ate homecooked meals. She'd make about 5 casseroles every Sunday and my brother and I would munch on those throughout the week. I'm too young and too new at cooking to have any big triumphs. I've perfected chili though, and being from Texas that's a good thing! Using margarine instead of real butter in a cookie recipe once, all that came out were really flat runny cookies. Yuck!
